Stop Motion Animation Workshops

Free • Grades K–5 • Saturday Afternoons

Inspired by our Kids & Families Matinee series, each stop motion animation workshop offers a joyful, hands-on introduction to the magic of the movies.

In these free sessions, children discover the art of storytelling through animation. By crafting short films one frame at a time, they explore how imagination, art, and technology work together to bring stories to life.

Each session welcomes up to 10 students – registration required.

Thank you for a great event today! My girls (and I!) really enjoyed it. Rose spent the rest of the day telling very elaborate imaginative stories so it definitely got some wheels turning. I'm so glad I found this on the website and hope to attend another event in the future.

Ollie had a great time…It was SO fun for him to work in a group of other kids and see what ideas they came up with—all using the same supplies and having the same time limitations. They were all so diverse and unique! It was so well done and you did such a fantastic job facilitating—looking forward to future workshops!
